ABOUT
Collar & Comb is a small family run dog grooming salon based on the outskirts of Saffron Walden at the beautiful Riverside Barns. We believe that each dog is unique and special, often needing lots of love, care and reassurance throughout their grooming experience. Here at Collar & Comb we believe the dog's welfare comes first and our aim is to create a calm environment for our dogs whilst giving them a top quality groom.
Level 3 qualified, insured and canine-first-aid trained. We are experienced with breed standard, pet grooms, and hand stripping. We work with all sizes and personalities and welcome nervous or anxious dogs.

"I was so pleased with the care and attention given to my cockapoo. Very happy with her groom.
Would very much recommend!"
Lucy, SW
We really couldn’t recommend Hayley enough. We bought our bouncy cocker spaniel to her in a very overdue need of a chop! She has completely transformed him and he looks fab!
Gemma, SW
"Hayley did a great job on our Cavapoo. She doesn’t usually like going to the groomers but was much more chilled with Hayley, rather than the quivering wreck she’s been with others."
Claire, SW
